La Llorona

La Llorona – a New Theatre Production

We are currently working on a new theatre production La Llorona, bringing the Mexican myth of the Weeping Woman, a ghostly archetypal character to life, as part of our Latin Voices series.

La Llorona tells the story of Mexican seamstress Rosie, who moves to a border town in Texas from Mexico, seeking a better life for her children. She gets lured by the bright lights and false promises of the capitalist American Dream and loses her way – until one day she wakes up.

R&D Phase 1 Creative Team (2015-2016)

In 2015, the creative team spent four days devising and making in Blank Studio in Portslade, with a finale sharing event with the Latin community at Eden Perfume in Hove. The ambition for this first R&D phase is to develop an idea to create an outdoor spectacle involving the whole Latin American community in Sussex.
